Is it too much to ask for a happy ending?

A good way to end a trilogy is to have the "good" guys at the edge of defeat and then have something happen that tips the balance for the "good" guys over the evil guys, so a good ending that you have to pay alot for and by you I mean the random nameless red shirts in your and your allies armies. Maybe, one or two fallen named guys. I expect that to be the "canon" ending and so a happy ending should be there.



Think SW or LotOR.

I want an ending where I protect and save my friends and allies, save as many people as possible and live a good life with my love interest.  But yes, multiple endings are good too.:innocent:

Multiple endings.


Yup, that's what it seems like everybody wants.

I expect lots of divergant endings - for me, I want a gut-wrenching climax that hits me like an emotional sledgehammer *COUGH* read this *COUGH*.... but I'd like to see a happy epilogue after that, like this

Pretty cool ending, not crazy about the music though.

Not really, I have seen enough movies and played enough video games to just cranks these babies out! Got to love stereotypical action endings!



You should be a writer for the next Transfromers movie. Those things don't seem to take too much thought either.


Thank you, but I don't even know if I could bust out as many stereotypes as the great Michael Bay. A fun thing me and my friends did was to watch Transformers 2 and just turn around and just listen to the music and the pointless yelling and guess exactly was happening in the scene.

We were always right :blink:

Which one?  Both?

This is what I want.

And yeah, ME3 will most probably have multiple endings, so...

Glad you like that idea - but I'm flabbergasted that you don't like Clint Mansell's work! It's one of the greatest scores ever made for a movie I think! Each to their own though. :)

No, I like ol clinty but I just don't think that song would go very well with the setting your creating. Just my opinion.

Fair enough.  I think if Jack Wall did something as progressively climactic it would fit perfectly!

 If I don't get the possibility for marriage, old age, and a lot of little blue children, I'll be pissed. :P

It seems like people want three things for the ME3 ending; Heroic death, Bitter Sweet, and maridge of LI.

Yup - although I'm sure the endings are already written down - the real question, is how will they deliver those endings?  Here are my feelings on the subject...

I want lots and lots of different possible endings, based on choices made in all three games (ideally)  Good and bad.  I also want my "canon" Shep to have a happy ending too, though I also want him to earn it.  Victory never tastes sweeter than when you've come close to losing it all

That's how I like my RPGs too Posted Image

Right now I would be terrified to be a BW dev, especially the ones higher up on the food chain Project Lead, Lead Writers, ect. Everyone is expecting this game to literally be the best game they have ever played. That includes best story, best gameplay, and best characters. While I have no doubt that BW and the Mass Effect team, having the reputation that they have can deliver on this, It still must be a hell of alot of preasure.

Well - naturally this forum attracts the most hardcore of fans - we don't necessarily represent all of them. Maybe they feel some pressure, but as far as they're concerned it's very much their game, not ours, and so they'll only consider our ideas if they think they're good. So there's nothing wrong with us throwing as much feedback at them as possible - it's completely up to them what to do with it and it's not like anyone's putting a gun to their head.

Building a perfect society with the quarian population or, alternatively, joining the reapers and enjoying the process of destruction of organic life. In other words, I would indeed like a happy (or, rather, optimal) ending, and an achievable one because I do take multiple endings for granted, however, I don't support those who with it to be either completely unachievable or only possible for a certain very specific combination of choices (while those who didn't make it would have to settle for something left). After all, most of us, I believe, play single player games to win or to be in control. This is why I agree with a certain person on this forum who proposed a number of optimal endings based on choices and alignment rather than some happy and unhappy ones. Sadness, losing, depression and settling for questionable results is what real life is for, and it isn't exactly optional here.

You mean their execution. I agree; hopefully it will be a blast.

hmm...Two endings that are the complete polar oposites of eachother. In one hand you have the reconstruction and salvation of an entire species, In the other hand you have the complete destruction of all organic life in the galaxy.

I question your moral values. Posted Image
